Describe your character's life before the outbreak:
Life was simple. Happy. Normal. Melody went to school and she had her friends, she went the the movies often... So much so that she eneded up getting a job there. She loved the whole place. The floors were black and white checkered and the interior was retro, there were bright neon orange and green lights everywhere and the walls were painted a unique purple and orange blend that when the neon reflected on them with green and oragne just seemed magical. That old movie theater was really special to her... She spent all of her free time there even when she wasn't working... There was something great about getting lost in the somehow nostalgic feel of the place and the thrill of seeing a new movie, mostly horror films. She worked very hard at her job and though she didn't get payed much it was just another chance to be at the place she loved. When she wasn't working she had a nice family. Two loving parents Dalton and Barbara who were always wanting to do something together as a family.. The perfect little slice of Americana wrapped all up in a silver dream... Life was perfect....... Back then.
What happened to your character on outbreak day?:
Melody had the day off and since her and her family got to see the movies for free she decided to spend the day with her mother watching "Redneck Vampires from Hell" It was a cheesey slasher flick of course... The best kind of scary movie! As they entered the theater and took their seats, something was odd. The theater was all but empty... Even on a Wednesday that didn't happen often... This place was normally jumping with activity... Ticket sales weren't the problem... The theater was on the verge of shutting down. They were building a newer better theater in the mall across the street... Melody was heartbroken that the theater she'd been coming to since was was a little girl, the one she worked at; was getting replaced... It had a few more weeks before the doors closed so Melody took every oppurtunity she could to come out to theater... Halfway through the picture her mother decided this particular movie was to gorey for her tastes and Melody sighed, and decided to leave... She had seen this one anyways... They walked out to the lobby and it too was empty... Even her co-workers were gone... As if someone pulled a silent fire alarm and they were the only two that didn't hear it.... Melody called out for someone, starting to get a little worried.
Melody: Tim? Ben? Kara? Anyone?
There was blood on the floor.. She followed the trail... It lead from theater room 6. The she opened the door to see a man eating Ben! The man, was a movier-goer. He had died halfway through a romantic comedy. Choked to death on his popcorn. The place was all but empty because of the attacks on the news, but not everyone closed their doors... The owner of the movie theater refused, he wanted to spend as much time with his little theater as he could before it closed shop. Now, staring at the fat man with popcorn butter grease and blood smeared on his face eating her friend Ben. She screamed... The fat man looked up and without warning Took a bite out of Barbara's arm! What is happening here?!?!? She picked up a fire extingusher and beat the fat man over the head with it until he stopped moving... She cried out for help but her co-workers all ran when they saw Ben getting eaten..... It was only Tim Ben and Kara here today.... And now Ben was dead and her mom was bleeding badly! She quickly rushed her mom out to the car and put her in the car. Oh my god! She thought. Her mom drove home while Melody called her dad. After serval atempts he finally picked up as they pulled into the driveway .
Dalton: Hey sweetie.....
Melody: DAD! IT'S MOM! SOME GUY BIT HER!
Dalton: WHAT? WHERE ARE YOU GUYS?
Melody: We're at home dad! I'm really worried she looks pretty shaken up! i can't get her to go to the hospitle, she says she's fine and she doesn't need it, but dad.... She's bleeding A LOT! She's missing a chunk out of her arm! Come home dad! I need you!
Dalton: I'm on my way baby! Just stay with your mother ok?
Melody: Hurry dad!
When her fathe got home he took care of everything.. He managed to stop the bleeding but at this point, they figured she needed to lay down to rest... Dalton put Barbara to bed and turned on the news to hear more about the attacks; the attacks that her mother had just been a victim of. They both sat in horrified silence.... It was like a horror movie... Only it was real.
Describe your character's life after the outbreak:
After mom died Melody was in a quiet haze for awhile... Her father told her to gather her things, they were going to New York. She barely heard him, but she did as instructed.. She buzzed around her room like a robot not even really realizing what she was grabbing, just grabbing whatever seemed important... Her diary, a few clothes, she stopped at the cork board by the foot of her bed and grabbed the family photo... Pausing to stare at it... They were all happy only a few days ago, now her mom was dead and they were going to New York? It didn't make sense, it wasn't fair. she just wanted her mom back and she wanted things back to the way they were... The News said that things were getting bad. That the attackes were nationwide... What would New York solve? She heard her dad yelling downstairs to hurry up and she did.... Leaving behind her room, and everything in it... Leaving beind the life she knew and closing the door behind her, not knowing at the moment, that simple conforts like justin timberlake posters; and incubus cds; and laptops; the things a teenage girl would have in her room.... Would never be useful or relvant to her again... The world was changing.... She shut the door and headed down stairs, metophorically she had shut the door on that part of her life.... Her teen years... It was time for her to grow up.
It wasn't long before Dalton and his daughter Melody were picked up by The Hive's scouts and brought back to join their community.. Dalton volunteered to be a scout himself wanting to do anything he could to learn how to protect himself and his daughter... Melody, mostly went to the hive's school program and learned about survival skills and such... She attented the gun range training but she was a lousy shot. It just wasn't in her... She did excel somewhat at the hand to hand combat training, but she would be easily outmatched if she faced a larger stronger opponent; which was almost everybody! Melody and her father have been surviving in The Hive almost since the beginning.... They survived amongst a thriving community ready to build the world back up piece by piece, until The Hive fell to a walker attack... Melody joined her father and many other scouts on a mission to secure a new outpost... Her father wanted to teach her how to survive in the world in case he didn't come back from a scout mission one day... So she went with him, and had she stayed, she would have most assureadly died in the attack on The Hive.... She is now with a group of survivors from The Hive headed west. The group has picked up a few survivors along the way in their journey west..... They don't know what's out there waiting for them for sure.... But this is where Melody's story picks up.....
